python-mysqlHow do I set up a secure SSL connection between Python and MySQL?

To set up a secure SSL connection between Python and MySQL, you need to install the mysql-connector-python library and the PyMySQL library.

Then, you can use the following code to establish a secure SSL connection:

import mysql.connector
import pymysql

# Establish a secure SSL connection
db_connection = mysql.connector.connect(
    host='hostname',
    user='username',
    passwd='password',
    ssl_ca='/path/to/ca.pem',
    ssl_cert='/path/to/client-cert.pem',
    ssl_key='/path/to/client-key.pem'
)

# Establish a secure SSL connection
db_connection = pymysql.connect(
    host='hostname',
    user='username',
    passwd='password',
    ssl={
        'ca': '/path/to/ca.pem',
        'cert': '/path/to/client-cert.pem',
        'key': '/path/to/client-key.pem'
    }
)

This code will establish a secure SSL connection between Python and MySQL.

Parts of the code:

• mysql.connector.connect: Establishes a connection to the MySQL server.
• host: The hostname of the MySQL server.
• user: The username of the MySQL server.
• passwd: The password of the MySQL server.
• ssl_ca: The path to the root certificate of the server.
• ssl_cert: The path to the client certificate.
• ssl_key: The path to the client key.
